2.1 Configuration cable / connection 

Use the RJ45 connector for meter connection (for RS232 or RS485 connection) or serial 
connection (in RS232 mode) for configuration to the PC. 

The pinout of the device’s 

RJ45 port can be seen below. 

 

RS485 2- or 4-wire connection: 

Configure the modem for RS485 meter connection 

 

2-wire or 4-wire mode: 
PIN #5: RX/TX N (-) 

 for 2-wire and 4-wire connection 

PIN #6: RX/TX P (+) 

 for 2-wire and 4-wire connection 

PIN #7: TX N (-) 

 for 4-wire connection only 

PIN #8: TX P (+) 

 for 4-wire connection only

 

 

 

 

Serial RS232 connection: 

 

PIN #1: GND  

PIN #2: RxD (receiving data) 

PIN #3: TxD (transmitting data) 

PIN #4: DCD  

Make serial connection from the modem to a PC or a 

meter 

by wiring RJ45 connector’s Pin #1, Pin 2, and Pin 

 

  #3 

 optionally pin nr. #4. 

 

2.2 Prearing to start the device 

Step #1

: In powered off status, ensure that the plastic terminal cover 

(marked by „

I

”) 

is 

placed on the device 

enclosure („

II

”)

 before continue.

 

 

Step #2

An active SIM card (2FF type) must be inserted to the modem’s SIM 

holder. 

Take care to the direction of insertion (follow the hints of the next photo). The proper 

orientation / direction of the SIM can be seen on the product sticker. 

 

Step #3

: Connect the wired serial cable to the RJ45 connector (RS232) according to 

the pinout above.
